Allsorts GDT card

It's another grey day here in Northern Ireland....you'd think I'd be used to it by now! Anyhow, I don't feel so guilty about not cutting the grass when it's drizzling again! Today I'm Guest Designer and joint sponsor on the Allsorts Challenge blog where the theme is "flowers and swirls". I've used Rosebud from my floral collection of digis on A Passion for Stamps and coloured it with Promarkers.

Just while I'm talking about Promarkers ...Ihavejust had the chance to try out a set of their new FLEXMARKERS. I must say, they are very impressive!! I love the new brush type nib and, while they do take a little bit of getting used to, I'll definitely be having some more! I hope to upload a card soon showing them.

I have been assured that I'll be able to have another Promarker giveaway on my blog soon (ie as soon as they arrive!) which will be open to followers old and new, so please watch out for this!

Back to the card! I have glittered the swirls but it's not showing up too well in the photo. I find myself saying that a lot lately - must be something to do with our weather! Maybe I should try a daylight lamp or a light box. Any suggestions are welcome.The swirls are a mixture of Marianne Creatables and Cuttlebug designs and the paper is My Mind's Eye.Thanks for looking,
